What's the most you've spent on a drink?

Last year I had to travel to Egypt and Dubai for work, and Egypt I had a beer in the hotel lobby... $25AUD. Then in Dubai, had a single shot of 12 yr old scotch.... $40AUD. There is a reason they dont drink in those countries!

I’ve spent $120 on a shot of a 25 year old whiskey


On works expense though

Same!

SA really should get with the program on drink sizes.

Imperials are really what should be a pint. What we call a pint isn't a pint.

Agree.
Why are we different?
Anyone know?

Went to Oklahoma for a conference, and one night went to a cigar & whisky lounge with a group of other delegates. Paid something like US$ 18 for a single shot of Laphroaig. Reckon that was upwards of AU$ 25 at the time.

Was once told it was to do with the 6 o'clock swill, smaller drinks = less beer drunk at the last minute.

When I succeed in becoming dictator of the People's Democratic Republic of Australistan, my first act will be to standardise the drink glass sizes across the nation. A schooner bought in one city should be the same as a schooner in every other city.

And no, I won't be using the South Australian names.

Will drawing a penis on a ballot paper no longer be classed as an informal vote? Asking for a friend.

In this instance it will be a direct vote.

100% Agree. A Schooner in Vic is different to a Schooner in SA.

Standardise it already.

Other way around, schooner in NSW is a SA pint

[heater31]

Don't that is even correct?

The NSW/Queensland/Victoria Schooner SA Pint is 425ml I think

[dedja]

What did you all expect???

The States couldn’t get their story straight on rail gauges, so how were they supposed to standardise beer glass sizes?

On don’t get me started on the standard name for fritz.

Make the convict states conform to our terminology.

Not a big issue for me when interstate as I'll happily drink an Imperial Pint anywhere if I accidentally ask for a pint.
Only problem I have is when I mumble pint and they give me a pot.

[amber_fluid]

I just say give us the biggest you got!
